Wonderful chain of Cincinnati-style chili restaurants. This location closely matches the dozen-or-so locations we visited in Greater Cincinnati. That's a very good thing. All the staff are friendly and attentive. We were yucking it up with Jared too much, hopefully, he didn't get yelled at. The iced tea is excellent. The 4-way, a much sought after welcome home. I didn't care for Mrs. E's chili cheese fries. It's the french fry they use. It's a fairly big place with plenty of tables and it gets loud when it gets busy. Try Two in the afternoon. We had the place to ourselves. Watched some baseball, checked out some news and weather, all while enjoying a peaceful, easy meal! 06/24 read more

I love Skyline Chili and this location never disappoints! Great fast service, food is always consistent and tastes great and you always get a mountain of fresh grated cheese! read more

We called several days ahead and told them we were coming in with a very large group. We were attending a school band event in the area so we brought our band kids in. They knew we were coming and yet they have ONE person trying to serve 40 of us. Why would any business do something like that? If you know you have a large group coming in, you bring in extra help for the shift! read more

Second time in a row I've gone to this location and they forgot my cheese for my 4-Way. Looks like I'll be having a 3-Way.

If you're a vegetarian, I recommend skipping Skyline and get yourself over to Gold Star where they make the BEST vegetarian Cincinnati chili in the whole wide world and possibly the universe! Skyline's is a weak imitation with very little flavor... read more

I used to Love Skyline but in Today's world it is by FAR the most EXSPENSIVE fast food out there. Me and my wife stopped in yesterday for lunch. $25 FOR 2 3-Way's and 1 Ice Tea, 1 Water... And I still gave Brooke a $4. tip for a $28.52 Total.(Not her fault) But in comparison Chic Filet cost us $18 Panda Express $18 OLIVE GARDEN $28 For Lasagna , Salad, Bread Sticks for me and Unlimited Soup and Salad , bread for my wife.... Roosters 10 Wings ,Potato Skins, 1 Drinks $27 .... Considering SKYLINE is really just Spaghetti and a water down meat sauce with Little meat at all and some cheeses. We looked at each other in the car and said....WE just ate our very last SKYLINE Sad but true...For $30 I,m heading to Olive Garden or Rooster , Smokey Bones Full Slab of Ribs and 2 sides $15 REALLY ????? Come on SKYLINE get in line... read more

You either love or hate skyline and I love skyline. This place always has fast service. I'd recommend trying a 3-way, 4-way, or 5-way and the chili cheese coneys. Personally, I would never order a bowl of chili because I don't think it's type of chili you have a bowl of. Not the type that'd you'd make at home. However, it is so good on the coney and spaghetti. And they always top it with a bunch of cheddar cheese. Yum! read more

Had to check this place out while near Cincinnati, Ohio to try their famous chili! I ordered the fully loaded bowl of chili and it was delicious - hearty and full of spices. I also opted to get their extreme habanero cheese which if you like spice, I recommend - it's definitely not "habanero level spice" but adds a nice kick. My fiance ordered a coney which was a hot dog, chili, onions, mustard, and a big heap of shredded cheese. Overall was a solid place to stop for lunch and not break the bank - our server who was a younger college student was super friendly. If I could change one thing it would be the temperature of how my chili was served. It was warm at best and when I order chili I expect it to be served scorching in a bowl. read more

I've been to this Skyline location a few times and every time I have been here, the service has been fast and the food has been tasty! Recently, I stopped in for lunch around 12:30 as I had a hankering for their chili, and there were only a few customers inside so I sat myself at the "bar" (there's no booze here but it's typical bar type seating in front of the cooks vs a table/booth) and I was greeted right away by the friendly employees. My food was great and delivered promptly! This location also conveniently has a drive thru if you're looking for a take home meal. Like most Skylines, they also sell their oyster crackers and hot sauce in store as well. Whenever I'm working in Pickerington and craving a cheese coney or a three way, I'll definitely be back! read more

Skyline Chili - Coney dog with habanero cheese and a small 3 way with habanero cheese - Fast Food Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

Went here based on recommendations from friends... not impressed. Chili was just plain old chain restaurant chili - nothing particularly special about it and not very appetizing. Chili dogs were just cheap run of the mill boiled hot dogs with soupy chili on top. Perhaps expectations in Ohio are better? I dunno. The real turnoff was the store manager bullshitting loudly with some people at the table behind us about gun laws, politics, and crap you'd see on Fox News. Definitely not what I want to listen to when I'm trying to have lunch. read more

Skyline Chili - This is a photo - Fast Food Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

This review is for a lunch for two on a Friday afternoon while road tripping through Ohio along I70. My wife is a bit of a Cincinnati-style chili addict and we always seek out a Skyline. For this iteration, we found ourselves at the Skyline Chili in Pickerington Ohio, which is just east of Columbus. As we turned off I70, was reminded of what Calvin Trillin once wrote, "Columbus is not known as the gourmet center of Ohio. Ordinarily, anyone in Columbus who wants to take a serious fling at haute cuisine goes to Cincinnati. I have met people in Columbus who regularly drive the two hours to Cincinnati for dinner, stay the night, find some way to occupy themselves until lunchtime the next day, eat lunch, and return to Columbus--fortified against another five or six weeks of deprivation." Calvin Trillin, "Gourmets and Eaters" The New Yorker (1973) For the record, we LIKED eating in Columbus! service McKenna was out waitress. She was great. Prompt and helpful. Plus, she warned my wife that the Large Three-Way was really LARGE. food Based on McKenna's advice, my wife had a small three-way. And could barely finish it. For you uninitiated, a three-way is spaghetti, chili and cheese. My wife also could not resist two cheese coney's. In case you're wondering, when you're dealing with Skyline coney's, the hot dog is unimportant and forgettable - it's all about the chili, bun and cheese! I, perhaps foolishly, selected a "chilito" which turns out to be some chili and cheese rolled-up in a tortilla. Now, I liked my chilito but my wife thought it bordered on sacrilegious to introduce a tortilla to the mix. My wife is a purist when it comes to Skyline. details A wee bit off I70, let your GPS be your guide. Plenty of parking. Restaurant was clean and bright. They even have a drive-through. Don't forget to pick-up some canned chili to go for those long nights away from Cincinnati - or from Columbus. read more

Some people really don't appreciate skyline, but me personally, I love it. The staff at this location is always really nice, the place is clean, and they always do their best to accommodate. The only thing I wish is that they would use beef hot dogs and fry them instead of boiling them. The hotdogs taste like dinosaur meat sometimes. read more

Everything was so good. I love Getting the chili cheese fry's it is seasoned good and has a little bit of spice. The service was great. And the restaurant is so clean when I ordered the fry's they got it wrong but they made me a new one and let me keep the wrong order now this is good service 10/10 ps I come here yearly to visit my family from Ohio and when I am in Ohio I come here every time. read more

At times this place really misses the mark. Foods good when they get it right! But can't go wrong with a cheese coney

I've been told that Skyline chili is a staple of Ohio so we try to stop whenever we are in town. This store was conveniently located right off of I-70 and even had a drive-thru. I love that Skyline combines the convenience of a fast food restaurant with a full service, sit-down style. Within 5 minutes of sitting down, we received their signature oyster crackers, ordered, and were served the famous 3-way chili. Our waitress was friendly and made the chain restaurant feel very comfortable. The chili itself is very unique-- more sweet and savory than spicy and heaped over spaghetti with freshly shredded cheese on top. Skyline truly is a must-have in Ohio and this location even has the benefit of a Graeter's ice cream in the same shopping center! read more

It seems like you either love or hate skyline, but I love it. This location always has great food and service!

Always quick, great Cincinnati Chili and coneys. Dining area is clean and server was courteous and quick. read more

I ordered two cheese coneys to go with the funnel fries. The ppl working were so nice because i tried to get reg. Fries noticed they had funnel fries (not on the drive thru menu but a picture on the window when you cash out) asked if i can change the order and they did that. The cheese coneys with chili was weird. It just tasted weird. I think i imagined it a certain way but it just wasn't what i imagined. I gave it three stars because of the funnel fries with powder sugar. The fries were hot, chewy, crispy outside and delicious! Plus a lot cleaner than ripping apart an elephant ear! read more

OK OK before all ya'll chili purists get started circling your wagons and get your lassos all in a dither because "Skyline Chili isn't real chili" just simmer down (pun definitely intended) Chili is one of those uniquely American dishes that takes on it's regional and local flavor and I happen to be a huge fan of the Cincinnati regional flavor so pipe down the lot of ya hehe. I mean what's not to love about this place and this food? My favorite is to get at least one cheese coney and yes it must have mustard and onion on it as well. Then a 5 way!! But the real beauty is that you can get it however you want it so dive right in and enjoy. Your waistline and arteries will thank you later. At this point I should admit that I have not tried another single menu item from Skyline other than the coney and chili so sorry folks you're on your own for a review of those items. Service has always been very good. This must be a good place to work or maybe the chili gets in the air and affects your brain but everyone is always nice and happy. You should go but do yourself a favor and wear the bib you will thank me later no matter how careful you tell yourself you will be. read more

Our waitress was very nice and super fast we just wanted a light snack before heading next door for some ice cream. The bath room was clean the restaurant was very clean chili fries was the perfect snack for us read more

Skyline Chili - Fast Food Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

This a pretty typical Skyline. I grew up with Skyline chili in my blood and it is always a great option when I am feeling up for a chili dog. I would write a giant review, but Skyline is a place you just have to experience if you have never had it. The staff at the Pickerington location is pretty good. I have only had maybe one or two bad staffing experiences, but overall, they are pretty good. What I love about Skyline is that it is a restaurant with a fast food style of delivery. You order and it is out in less than five minutes. I love Skyline Chili. 4/5 stars read more

Stopped here on our way to Indianapolis for Thanksgiving. I had the vegetarian black bean burrito. Basic and yummy! My husband had a chip 3-way and enjoyed it as well. It had a diner atmosphere, friendly servers, and decent prices. We usually stop at steak'n'shake on our way to Indy, but i can see us stopping here again instead. read more

Great place to eat. Wonderful and kind staff. This was my first time and the staff was so accommodating and acted like they were so glad we had came to there establishment. Had the Chili Dogs delicious with an abundance of cheese. The Chili has a special taste like nothing I've ever had before. The Spaghetti noddles were a bit odd but I'm from Oklahoma so we would have severed Fritos instead of noodles but it was still good. Everyone should try it once. read more

Skyline Chili - Fast Food Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

First off, service is excellent. Secondly, being our first time having Skyline we got our meal free. Now to the chili. You have to know Cincinnati chili and the taste, which is most likely not what you think. I can only imagine how awesome this would taste if the chili didn't have bay leaves, cumin, all spice, chocolate and cinnamon. Give it a try, but get a small. read more

Skyline Chili - Large 5 way - Fast Food Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

Good food, friendly staff, place is fairly clean. Been there twice, and appreciate the easy dining approach and quick accurate service.

It's pretty much pure happiness when I'm here. I have learned that wearing the bib is absolutely more a badge of courage than a sign of weaknesses and defeat. I'm not here to have a dainty time. read more

This skyline is unique in comparison to others maybe because of the design of the area. The lime was long so I went in and it was faster than the line! Haha sucker ;D read more

It had been a long time since I had Skyline, probably since the Whitehall location closed and man was it good! I expected it to be, too, but they exceeded expectations with the Extreme Habanero cheese. If you haven't tried it, you really must. The service at this location was just excellent, and yes I did take the bib. I'd rather look silly than have to fight at getting a stain out later, and let's face it, chili is always messy; chili 4 way with a huge pile of cheese on top served on a slightly too small plate definitely calls for a bib. I'm definitely going back and trying that habanero cheese on coneys. read more

Skyline Chili?????? A lot of people think that this chili is the best thing since slice bread. Somehow I never see Chili with their secect ingredient winning anything in chili cook offs. I had the chance of dining in the Pickerington OH location. It was lunchtime. It was my wife and I, and one other person who looked homeless. There are all sorts of selections, one way two way three way chili spaghetti, frankly I do not even remember what we had. I am trying to forget. As you ate the chili the taste of Nutmeg got stronger and stronger. It was so strong that we did not even eat half of what we oredered. When the server came over and asked us how was out meal I told her we never had chili like this before and it wasn't very good to me. And I spoke with the Manager/Shift leader about how strong the nutmeg taste was, and she looked at me like I was from Mars. I took a comment card home and filled it out, mailed it and even went to the website and told them how bad it was. I never received a single reply. Sorry the people that like skyline chili must have build up a tolerance to nutmeg. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE! read more

Great skyline location and flavor....on par with all of the best!

Maybe it's because I'm not a native Ohioan, but this stuff is awful. I'm not sure how it even qualifies as chili. The chili bowl I got looked more like soup. How this stuff ever got famous is beyond me. read more

We stopped here while traveling to Kentucky. My wife had never tried skyline chili before so we had to check this out! We thought it was great. Nothing gets much better than a hot dog loaded with chili and tons of cheese! read more

Every time I'm in Ohio, I have to get Skyline Chili! This place was so clean, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. I had the 5 way. My son had 2 coneys. Nothing to complain about except that I wish they were closer to Maryland! How do they get that cheese so thin?? Lol. read more

Stopped in for the funnel fries. Needed a fair food fix. Awesome lemonade. Great funnel fries.

I have a long love affair with Skyline Chili! They had a location in Fairfax, VA back in the 80s. Took advantage of the opportunity to introduce my wife to Skyline on a trip home from Colorado. Every bit as good as remember it. Our waiter (Benjamin) was great. read more

Facebook,google, and the sign on the door state that they open at 10:30, I watched multiple customers try to get in but no one there to open on time. Very unprofessional, it's ok though, Cane's down the street was clean,courteous, and open on time. read more

Love it! My family and I have been here a couple of times a month for the past 6 years and have never had a bad experience. The employees are very friendly and attentive. The food is always fresh and delicious. Wednesday is kids night and they give you a free kids meal with each adult meal purchase. Plus they have crafts for the kids and sometimes they even have face painting all for free! read more

Jarod was very nice and never stopped working. Very tentative and sweet. Restaurant was clean and quick. My personal favorite Skyline.

Fell in love with Skyline Chili while in college on Glenway Ave. in Cincy, original location. 40 years later, still a faithful customer. Service staff are always friendly and no long wait on getting your food. The food is great and love all that cheese. Great family place. read more
